Does the League of Women Voters discriminate against all women candidates who are not members of major political parties?

Cris Ericson, http://usmjp.com United States Marijuana Party in Vermont, is a 60 year old woman political candidate who has been on the official election ballot in Vermont 2002 for Governor, 2004 for Governor and for U.S. Senator (it is legal in Vermont to be on the ballot for one State and one Federal office), in 2006 for Governor and for U.S. Senator, in 2008 for Governor and for U.S. Congress/House, in 2010 for Governor and U.S. Senator, and now in 2012 for Governor and for U.S. Senator running for the 2nd time against incumbent U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders.

Not once in these past ten years has the League of Women Voters ever invited Ms. Cris Ericson to a live candidate debate or live candidate forum.

Therefore, she will not respond to their two e-mails, below.

Also, VPR, Vermont Public Radio, has never invited Cris Ericson to a live General Election candidate debate including all candidates, or live candidate forum including all candidates. They also send invitations to "participate" in a way that treats her like a 2nd class citizen.

VPR, Vermont Public Radio and League of Women Voters have abused political candidate Cris Ericson in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010 and now in 2012; and therefore she will not accept their crumbs, their little tokens of second class "participation".

Legal Notice from political candidate Cris Ericson to Vermont Public Radio and League of Women Voters: "Take me off your mailing list, I am not a second class citizen and I will not be treated like a second class political candidate by you all!"

The League of Women Voters of Vermont would like to invite you to participate in our 2011 election voter guide.

This year we are creating an online voter guide where voters can compare your positions with those of your fellow candidates.

We are using a new Web-based system to pose questions to you and other candidates and collect your responses. You can post your replies yourself, in your own words so that voters can gain a clearer impression of who you are and of the platform on which you stand.

We would like your answers to the following questions:

What means would you support to fund health care in Vermont? As Governor, what steps would you take to secure Vermont’s energy future? The effects of tropical storm Irene continue to have an impact on Vermont's budget. What broad-based taxes would you support to cover the resulting increase in expenditures?

It is easy to participate and to speed the process we ask that you respond via our Web-based form rather than by email, fax or mail. Post your responses by visiting:

We will post responses until November 2, but the earlier you respond, the greater number of people will see it. We look forward to your participation! If you have any questions, please contact me at 802-229-4737
